my good friend who own a large retail music store in florida went to the latest NAMM show in Nashville ..so i asked them to speak to KORG about plans for a new Workstation pa5x ??? they told him that they have NO PLANS on coming out with a new work station 5x .. i just wanted to pass this along , not sure if its not true but it was from korg ...

Interesting.... It seems like the whole world of arrangers has gone into lockdown....

I am so lucky, grateful and blessed that I have a PA4X. I really am not bothered about future models - a "PA5X" for me right now would just be an unnecessary, selfish, expensive luxury - plus I certainly would not buy one until it had been released for at least 18 months.

Can't afford to unnecessarily spend big $$$ in this climate. If I was to spend soon, I would be more interested in an "alternative/upgrade/replacement" to my other 2 synths.

Take great care all you people

As far as I remember, nobody presents big news regarding synthesizers and arrangers at summer namm

A new pa5x or whatever name, may appear in autumn or at next winter namm

The question is, does the market really require such important keyboard in this specific moment?

For sure Korg has the answer

I don’t think the Korg US representatives have much interest in the PA series..

They might be the last to know if any new models are upcomming..

To me it seems the pa5x should be just around tne corner, never before have we seen so much time between model updates. Its comming.. later this year or next year. And it will be a huge innovative update..

With the world going through a two year and counting hiccup, new PA news may be delayed similarly. Couple that with logistic bottlenecks and chip shortages; may have us waiting even longer for new models. It is a different world out there.
